Distress at St Vincent President Pal- ma' First Message Went to Top of Crater Lost 65 Relatives Col lege Boat Races Aeronaut Killed. Concentration Camps. An official cablegram from Lord Kitchener, tinted Pretoria, Saturday, May 31, 11:15 p. m., says: A document containing terms of lurremlcr was tdgned here this evening at hulf past 10 o'clock by all the Boer representatives as well as by Lord Mil- nor (the British high commissioner L. South Africa), and myself." The news of peace In South Africa, contained In the foregoing dispatch from Lord Kitchener, was not expected in London Sunday. Foon after the receipt of the dispatch, however, the cub spread to the clubs and hotels and was received with much enthus iasm. The church bells were rung to arclalm the good news. A crowd gathered at the Mansion House and the lord mayor of London, Sir JoBcph Ditnsdale, announced from a bal cony that terms of surrender had been elKiicd In South Africa. ord Kitchener's definite announce ment of peace was received at the war office at 1 In the afternoon and was communicated to King Edward und nil the members of the cabinet h'fore It was given out to the public. The Sunday evening calm of the Lon don streets was broken by enthusiastic siniritig. shouting and horn blowing. The hcleh, clubs, the public houses and the streets were not the onty places where the people were actively demonstrating their joy; the peace news was announced In the churches Sundny and by some congregations I v.-ns received with applause. tn all the churches of Iindon prayers o thnnhsKiving were offered and special hyirns wre Ming. Hervy Rains at St. Vincent. On Saturday the dense clouds form ing a canopy over the greater part of the Island of St. Vincent lowered and a severe thunderstorm, accoul' panli el by a heavy rainfall, brake over St. Vincent and continued till Monday, cau-ing the mud streams in the Wind ward distrlrt of Geoigetown to be flutided. The water pipes were dam aged, several houses were washed away and two lives lost. The rnlnlall was m henvy that It disturbed the bodies of the burled victims of the volcanic disaster, and rorpses with putrid flesh hanging to the hor.es were exposed to view. During the, rainstotm the Soufrlere volcano appeared to give forth dense clouds cf vapor and steam, rising to a considerable height and spreading over Hie nek'hborhoorl. Roaring rounds from the mountain also caused apprehension of another eruption. Se vere lightning lasted all night Satur day and on Sunday. Eight Inches cf rain fell at Klngslown between Satur day anil Monday, the heaviest down fall since the hurricane. Further Interesting Incidents which occurred during the recent eruption of the volcano are continually coming to light. While all the residents of the til!:e cf Morne Ronde were leaving that piece by boat a man who had declined to leave was seen running mi and down the shore, screaming for help, and saying that the ground was hi t and that the water was boiling and that Inva was coming down the mountain. It xi' Impossible to rescue him and the man died a horrible death. The t'nlted States steamer Dixie has done splendid work here and has rendered great assistance to the gov eminent while landing supplies from other relief fhlp.i. besides landing the rations brought by "the American ves sel. President Palma't First Message. President Pal ma's message was d livered to the Cuban senate Wednes day. The message opens by giving thanks to the Almighty for His assistance in currying out the work of obtnliilng Cuban independence and asks divine aid in the establishment of a firm and stable government. "Never did a people fight with more perseveiance." says President Palma "and facrilire more for liberty than have the Cubans. No people, there fore, are more entitled to sec their Just elforts crowned with success." President Palma declares It Is tfco purpose of the government to devote its attention to education and especial ly to primary schools. "It Is very satisfactory to us," says the president, "that the republic of Cuba has been officially recognized by the Vnitcd States. Great Britain, France, Mexico. Guatemala. Nicar agua, Santo Domingo, Ecuador and Paraguay, and we hope that other lountrles will also recognize our re public. We mut cultivate cordial re lations with all nations and mal;e treaties of amnesty and commerce fa vorable to Cuba. We must also tak rspeclnl care that the relations be tween Cuba and the T'nlted States be most friendly. In order that tner be no difficulty In arranging thff politi cal or commercial questions which af fect both countries." Went to Top of Crater. The National Geographical society has scored a great triumph through lis representative here. Trofessor Angelo Hellpiin, who on Saturday, with three guides, ascended to the top of the crater on the summit of Mont Pelec. Professor llellprin is also president of the Philadelphia Geographical uo- cicty. The volcano was active but amid thousand dangers Professor Hell- prin reached the summit and looked down iuto the huge crater. Here he spent some time In taking careful observations. He saw a huge cinder cone In the center of tho crater. The opening of the crater Itself is a vast crevlco tjOO feet long and 150 wide. While Professor Hellprln was on tho summit of the volcano several violent explosions of steam and cinder-laden vapor took place and again and again his life was in danger. Ashes fell about him In such quan tities at times as to completely ob scure his vision. One particularly violent explosion of mud covered him from head to foot with the hideous, viscid and semi-solid matter thrown out. Professor llellprin still persis ted In his study and observations, however, and twice more was ho showered with mud. Report of Trade Conditions. The week's developments have been largely favorable. Crop conditions, partlculaity those of the spring-sown cereals and cotton, have shown furth er Improvement. As to the crop outlook generally It might be said that nearly every ag ricultural condition pleases. This Is In a measure true even of winter-wheat conditions, which have vastly Im proved over a month ago. Cool weather, It is true, has retarded retail demand, and measurably checked reorder business with Jobbers, and heavy frosts have done damage to vegetables on the northern edge of the country, but this Is regarded as only a temporary halt, and the general volume of business has been helped by tho large amount booked for next an tumn'B delivery. Among the Industries general activ ity still rules, with iron and steel, hardware, lumber, the building trades nd bltiimlnoii3 coal displaying ex ceptional activity. Failures continue well down to the minimum and bank clearings are beginning to compare better with a year ago. Railway earn ings hold all the former advantages shown over preceding years. Business failures for the week num ber 103 as against 152 last week, 144 In this week last year. 135 in 1900, 129 In 1SH9 and ITS In 1898. Lost 65 Relatives. Louis Ernoul, deputy mayor of St. Pierre, Island of Martinique., has ar rived In Paris. He lost 65 relatives In the disaster that overwhelmed St. Pierre. The walls, doors and furniture of his house were left intact, but nothing was left In the garden except one tree, which Is still bearing leaves and fruit. M. Ernoul says that a Mme. Drugler nd her six children took refuge In a rave, where they remained for 62 hours after the catastrophe. When the little party was discovered they were all terribly burned. Mme. Brugler had sufllrient strength to murmur: "Water for Germalne," before she died. A cup of water was placed at the Hps of Germalne, who expired after tak ing the first mouthful. Death of an Aeronaut. Harry Hicks was killed at King ston Point, a summer resort. Friday. He had been engaged to make dally balloon ascensions and the afternoon was booked for his first exhibition. When the balloon had reached an altitude of about 2,W)0 feet, Hicks commenced the desrent by means of a parachute, coming down slowly to about 8n0 feet above the Hudson river. For some reason Hicks lost his hold nnd fell, striking head first on a sand bar In the river. Hicks was nephew of Charles Ka brick, well known as a balloonist. Cornell Won at Cayuga Lake. Cornell won the eight oared bout race on Luke Cayuga Friday. Syracuse finished second, over three lengths bi hind the winner, and Harvard's New ell club eight was beaten by more than four boat lengths. Cornell cov ered the two miles In 10:48. Pennsylvania won the Junior 'var sity boat race from Columbia and Cornell on the national course on the Schuylkill river In Fairmont park Friday afternoon. Columbia was two lengths behind Pennsylvania at Ihe finish and Cornell was five lengths to the rear of Columbia. Concentration Camps. Colonel A. L. Wagner, for two and a half years adjutant general of the army In the Phlliplne islands, de scribed to the Philippine committee, of the senate the concentration camps in certain provinces. He said they rould not be compared to the VVevler ramps in Cuba. They were necessary In order to clear the country of ladrones and guerillas. The people were trealed well and while a dead line was established, tho orders were fi kill no one unnecessarily. Navy Expended $20.000,000...

SCENE IN THE CCMMOKS Thronged With a Brilliant and Enthusiastic Audience. Chamberlain and Balfour Received Ovations Liberality of tits Tirms. Leader Anounced the Government Would Move Vote of Thpnks to Lord Kitchener and Troops. London, June 3. Not lu years had t'e house of commons been so thronged with a brilliant and enthus iastic audience as when the first lord of the treasury and government leader In the house, A. J. Balfour, announced the peace terms concluded with tho Boers. An hour before the houfe met, a large crowd on Whitehall vociferously cheered the notable politicians, par ticularly the colonial secretary, Jo seph Chamberlain, who walked uncon cernedly from the colonial office with broad smile on his face. Long before the customary prayer, the galleries of the house were packed. Joseph H. Choate, the United States ambassador; Henry White, the secro- tary of the embussy; Lord Rothschild and many members of the cabinet pa tiently waited through the answering of questions in the house for the mo mentous announcement. An unsually large number of peers sat In their gal lery and behind the ladies' grill aristo cratic women were closely packed. Noticeable among them was Lady Sa rah Wilson, who thus saw the end of the drama in which she played such an active part. Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Balfour both received a great ovation as they alked to their seats, Mr. Chamber lain's ovation being by far tho most enthusiastic of the two. The period of waiting finally came to an end. Amid breathless silence, broken a few seconds later by applause such as the house of commons seldom hears, Mr. Balfour stood up and an nounced the terms on which the war In South Africa had been ended. The reference to the Boers acknowl edging King. Edward as their sovereign was the hit of the day, being greeted with a palvo cf "hear, hear" and ap plause from the galleries, the occu pants of which refused to be Bllent. As the liberality of the terms grew plainer, the cheers on the government side of the house diminished, while the opposition's satisfaction was propor tionately Increased. Through all this the Irish members sat Impassive, though earlier In the afternoon they had startled the house by a demonstration, which at first was thought to be in honor of peace. This, it was soon discovered, was caused by the reappearance In the house of Will iam Redmond, who has Just returned from the United States. When Mr. Balfour's statement was concluded every one seemed glad cf the opportunity for a hearty laugh. caused by the government leader s hu morous quashing of the suggestion that the commons adjourn in honor cf peace. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader, in behalf of the opposi tion, said unbounded satisfaction would be felt throughout the empire at the conclusion of peace. They were unanimous in admiration of their late enemies, now their friends and fellow citizens, whose military qualities, ten aclty of purpose and self-sacrificing devotion to liberty and country hail won them the respect of the whole world, and, foremost of all, the respect of their opponents. Everey member would offer congratulations to the king and to the country on the thrice blessed restoration of peace. Mr. Balfour having announced that the government would take an early opportunity cf moving a vote of thanks to Lord Kitchener and the rorces in South Africa, the members of the house of commons returned to their ordinary avocations. NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE. Started March 12 Various Offers Re fused by the British. London, June 3. A parliamentary paper gives the correspondence pre ceding the peace agreement. From this it appears that General Schalk- fiurger (acting president of the Trans vaal) informed Lord Kitchener, March 12, that he w as prepared to make peace proposals. A month later the Boer delegates submitted propositions. On April 13, the war secretary, Mr. Brodrick, refused to entertain any propositions based on the Independ ence of the republics. Subsequently President Steyn of the Orange Free State and Generals Schalk Biirger and Botha declared that Hie surrender of Independence must be submitted to the burghers in the field. The British government expressed surprise at this attitude but an nounced its willingness to accept the Boers' surrender on the same tcrmst that !-ord Kitchener had previostily offered General Botha, and to give fa cilities Tor a consultation of the Boer commands. On May 17 General Sehalk-Burger and Mr. Steyn informed I-ord Kitche ner that the burghers assembled at Vereeniglng had empowered a com mission to negotiate peace terms sub ject to ratification at Vereeniglng. Lord Milner, Lord Kitchener and the Boer commission met May 19. Tho latter offered to surrender the i:id? pendence of the republics, as regards foreign relations; to surrender part of their territory and retain self-government under British supervision. These proposals were forthwith re jected. Tho same day Lord Milner, General Smuts and Judge Hertzog drew up a form of agreement to be submitted to the conference at Ver eeniglng for a yes or no vote. This was very similar to the final agree ment and with few alterations was up- proved by Mr. Chamberlain, who In giving notice of his approval, told Lord Milner ho must Inform the Boers that unless It waa accepted within a fixed limit cf .time the conference would be considered ended and his majesty's government would not bs bound In any way by the present dec larations. The Hoers asked to be allowed until Saturday night to give an answer und the result was seen in the termination of the war. The last message of Lord Milner to Mr. Chamberlain June 1, after the sig nature of the peace agreement, men tions that Mr. Steyn's name was omit ted from the signatures because he waa too ill to come up to Pretoria, adding that he had already taken his parole. Of the Orange Free State ecTogates General Dewet signed first because Mr. Steyn nominated him "acting president" on retiring from the con ference. Fee.lng In Holland. The Hague, June 3. The news of the conclusion of peace In South Africa was received here with very mixed feeling. While there Is general satisfaction that the war is enoen, unvarying regret is expressed at the loss of Boer independence. Tho Boer delegates here are In a particularly trying position. It ha3 been learned upon good authority that the British government at the last moment refused to allow the Boers in South Africa to communl cntn with their leaders In Europe: thus the delegates on the comment were entirely shut out or tne negot iations and were ignorant even cf the terms of surrender, except as they learned of them tnrougn tne news papers. A Dutch official referring to the news from South Africa said: "The delegates made a great mistake in not complying with the ardent wish of iht notch eovernment at the time of Ihe overtures made by Dr. Kuyper the premier, which was that tney appiy ior safo conducts to South Africa." Sympathy With Mr. Kruger. Pails, June 3. General Louis Botha telegraphed to his wife, who is at Brussels, Sunday, that ho had signed the neacn aareement and would start for Europe next month. The munici pal council adopted an address of syni- nnthv with Mr. Kruger. whose peo plo have so valiantly fought for right against might. Killed by Chloroform. Batavia, N. Y., June 3. Edward Dunham, aged 23 years, was found dead in bed yesterday. He had killed himself by nreslng an undershirt saturated with chloroform to his face. Dunham was arrested In Buffalo, Nev- ember 20, 1900, on a charge of caus ing the death of Frank Seller, a hack man, In Kenton's concert hall. He hud words with Seller and It was alleged pushed him down stairs. Seller died from a fractured skull. The coron er's jury exonerated Dunham, but he had brooded over the matter ever since. On March 10. 1901, while em ployed in Corfu he tried to kill him self by taking laudanum. Surplus For May. Washington, June 3.
